Answer:

x=1 and y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to solve by substitution the given system of equations:

\left \{ {{\frac{3}{8}x+\frac{1}{3}y=\frac{17}{24} }\atop {x+7y=8}} \right.

First, we have to choose an equation, no matter which one, and isolate a certain variable, no matter which one either. So, by our own criteria, we choose the second equation, and we'll isolate <em>x</em>:

x+7y=8\\x=8-7y

Now, this equivalence for x, we will replace it in the other equation, instead of <em>x</em>, we will put the result:

\frac{3}{8}(8-7y)+\frac{1}{3}y=\frac{17}{24}

Then, we solve for <em>y</em>:

\frac{3}{8}(8-7y)+\frac{1}{3}y=\frac{17}{24}\\\frac{3}{8}8-\frac{3}{8}7y+\frac{1}{3}y=\frac{17}{24}\\-\frac{21}{8}y+\frac{1}{3}y=\frac{17}{24}-3\\\frac{-63y+8y}{24}=\frac{17-72}{24}\\ \frac{-55y}{24}=\frac{-55}{24}\\y=\frac{-55(24)}{24(-55)}=1

Now, the final process will be to replace this y<em>-value </em>in one equation, no matter which one, and find x<em>-value</em>:

x+7y=8\\\\x+7(1)=8\\x=8-7\\x=1

Therefore, the solution of the system is x=1 and y=1

Lillian and Jacob work at a dry cleaners ironing shirts. Lillian can iron 25 shirts per hour, and Jacob can iron 20 shirts per h
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Lillian worked 7h and Jacob worked 6h

Step-by-step explanation:

the number of hours Lillian worked are x (h)

the number of  hours Jacob worked are y (h)

                 (0 < x,y < 13)

=> Lilian ironed: 25x (shirts)

    Jacob ỉroned: 20y (shirts)

because Lillian and Jacob worked a combined 13 hours and ironed 295 shirts, we have:

\left \{ {{x+y=13} \atop {25x+20y=295}} \right. => \left \{ {{x=7} \atop {y=6}} \right.

so Lillian worked 7h and Jacob worked 6h

Explain how you got the answer(:
Natali [406]
Hey there :) I'm pretty sure that your answer is D) ∠S ≅ <span>∠Y because corresponding angles of similar triangles are congruent.

I think that it is the answer because if you shift your paper around, and look at the angles from different views, you can tell that angles S and Y are congruent, or the same, because of the way that both angles are at the end of the longer sides of both triangles.

So, your answer is D!

~Hope this helped!~</span>

Simplify this expression : 2x(x-1)-3x^2-(5x-4)
Setler [38]

Answer:

-x^2 - 7x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x(x - 1) - 3x^2 - (5x - 4)

= 2x^2 - 2x - 3x^2 - 5x + 4

Adding like terms, we get:-

-x^2 - 7x + 4   (answer).
